It seems like forever since I last wrote anything here.  I found a JOB so that sort of eats up the time I had for blogging.  Damned jobs.  

Most of plants I started from seed went no where.  They sprouted just fine but never grew any larger.  A friend told me that i should added fertilizer after the second leaf appears.  Oh well.

My onions are doing great, lettuce and radishes did wonderfully. 

My flowers look pretty nice which is normal for this time of year.  I have loaded a bunch of new pics of of my late April and early May into photo albums.  My salvia, yellow iris, don juan roses, hostas and even my potted mint plants are all looking lovely this year.

Lately I have been shooting a ton of photos of Civil War Battlefields.  Although this is not the normal fair for a garden site, some of the BF's today are simply to beautiful to ignore, so I hope some of you will take the time to look at them.

I have discovered a good use for used cat litter.  I have been putting it along my fence line to help keep out the bunnies and other little varmints that have been eating the tops out of my plants.  I am going to try putting some of those battery powered vole buzzers out in my yard.  I met some one who swears they work.
